The Commission promotes and protects the rights, interests and wellbeing of young people under 18 in Queensland.
It does this is a number of ways, including helping young people to resolve their complaints about the child safety and/or youth justice systems.
We also advocate or act as a ‘voice’ for young people by talking to government, non-government or community services.
Anyone – young people themselves, parents, relatives, community members or agency representatives with concerns about services delivered to young people.
The Commission can deal with complaints about any government or non-government service provided (or not being provided) to young people in the child safety and/or youth justice systems.
